“Night” by Elie Wiesel is a story of horror and survival told on a nauseating scale. The author, with this autobiographical masterpiece, opens a small historical window on the systematic genocide committed by the Nazis against humanity. It offers the reader a very personal and painful narrative of his journey through the darkest chapters of human history. Finally, "Night" represents the travails of a boy who sees his innocence destroyed, who is physically decimated, but who ultimately wins over his captors. Elie is an innocent and obedient fourteen-year-old boy devoted to religious studies with a deep faith in God and total devotion to his father and his beautiful, caring family. He lives a peaceful and meaningful life appropriate for his age. One day, his world is turned upside down by cruel and surreal events. After the Nazis invaded Hungary, they deported his family to the Auschwitz concentration camp. During that ordeal, the beasts separate him from his village, then from his mother and young sisters. Likewise, his Jewish community, made up of loving families, is abandoned to the psychopathic designs of Adolf Hitler. When Elie arrives at the gates of Auschwitz, he describes the frightening experience. Miraculously, the few thousand Jewish prisoners still alive when the Allies rescued them won the lottery as expected. Even if they were a shell of humans. Elie reflects this when he writes “From the depths of the mirror, a corpse gazed upon me” (Wiesel 115). At the end of the war, the Jewish survivors were living corpses who managed to outlive Hitler and the sick and cowardly people who carried out the murderous orders of a despicable regime. They were a living and shocking symbol of the atrocities committed against the Jews. They were also a symbol of hope and perseverance. And among them was Elie, triumphant. The young, hardened boy forced to become an adult would go and fight their crude ideology with a humanitarian program
